Hi,
*General Proposal: *
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2
We had already commented on the previous proposals and now this is a new proposals which
is quite different. Does it mean we need to restart the discussions?
Can we have a *single* location where we can see all proposals so that we can make our
mind. Right now I keep seeing new proposals coming from different places and I'm not
sure anymore what we are discussing about.
It might also be good to gather the points we agreed on on that page so that we don't
restart all over again every time.
Some comments on this new proposal: * I don't like too much having panels on both
sides. I'd prefer panels on a single side.
I like the contextual tree view in the left panel of documentation pages
very much.
* I don't like the horizontal tab UI
* I don't understand the reason for the arrows on
the left and right. It looks as if I can click on them and the main content will scroll,
is that it?
Caty said "The Projects are presented in an carousel".
* I don't like that the description of the project
is in a panel on the left. I'd really prefer it to be in the main content area, above
XWiki Enterprise.
* I'd like that the main page explains that the XWiki project is an ecosystem of
projects.
* "see what users have to say..." look really strange where it's located.
* Footer looks good
+1
* The 3 big buttons sounds slightly too flashy
compared to the rest
They look good to me.
* We don't see latest modified pages
* My biggest complaint: The home page doesn't look
like a community site at all. This is important. Showing avatars + names would a way to
achieve this. Actually I think I'd prefer that the home be 100% about the community
only and have a link to direct to the XE page. The current home page could be used as the
main home page for the XE project page instead.
Conclusion: I'd really like to see a proposal where the home page is a community site
proposal showing contributors activities (avatar + names) on:
- extensions (extensions.xwiki.org)
- modified pages in the wiki(s)
- mailing list messages
- code commits
I'd like to see this too, but on the Community and Development page, as
Caty suggested.
Thanks,
Marius
Thanks

*Main Page: *
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2M…
The main page has a different layout from the rest of the pages;
- The
footer<http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrg…
used to have a quick overview on the major topics the website covers;
- just the Main Page has this footer;
- contains just links to major topics for each category;
- The Projects are presented in an carousel: XWiki Enterprise, XWiki
Office, Extensions + other Temporal Thematic Pages (major releases, events,
etc);
- Right panels contains Latest information;
*Documentation Page Example*:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2D…
- Right Panels are changing according to the space;
- Main Navigation + Left Oriented Secondary Navigation + Breadcrumb;
- Comments enabled for documentation pages
*Projects Page Example*:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2P…
*About Page Example*:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2A…
